American Originality and ''Smartness''

In England sensati.nalisn and anything

in America the very opposite is the rule.
Indeed, SD much attention is paid to head
lines in that country that there is engaged
Oh the staff Of every newspaper OF int
portance u gentleman whose duty it is to
supply headlines to articles and para
graphs. Some OF these headline writer's
are paid large salaries and have Il wide
reputation.
-i,. George Augustus Sula once said
that American journalists rarely take any
thing seriously: they are perpetually try
ing to he s,,ar, and amusing. Few peo-
pie who have even an elementary knowl-
edge Of Ancrca,, newspapers will call
into question the trutl, OF Mr.. Sala's as
scrtion. The American journalist is
| nothing il not original, and this ruling
passion is strikingly cNcmplitc'! in tho
very headlines.
| We have, for instance. never seen but
ono heading in English newspapers for
those simple announcements which never
| fail to interest female rcatlers-we mean
the Births, Marriages and Deaths. In
America. however tile! use such head
line, as Cradle. Altar. Tomb; Hatches,
Matches, Dispatches, and so on; while one
original genius sums up life thus-Births,
FlirtatiM,s, Engagements, Breakings off,
Marriages, Divorces. Deaths. Then. in
stead OF the familiar heading, Poetry, Wt
find Lays OF the latest Minstrcls. or the
Warblers' Corner.

By the last item. one may sec he can eat

however, answers a good purpose, and sup
plies plenty OF carbon. When brain force ia
required, brain food should be eateu. When
physical labor is performed. the food that
makes nerve and muscle is preferred.
In cold weather, food that supplies carbon
should be taken, but less in hot weather.
During April and May, and also ip July and
August, bnt little animal food should be
eaten. A mixed diet is best, neither draw
ing nourishment entirely from the animal or
vegetable kingdom.
Persons with small lungs demand more meat
as a diet than those with large ones. Meat
containing large supply of nitrogen which
| is 50 essential to human existance.
Children under ten years Of age should be
allowed to eat but little or no meat. We
consider pork to be injurious to the human
system, having very little nutrition as COM
pared with otler articles of diet.
Drinking while eating, is injurious to the
health. 1t dilutes the gastric jnicss of the
stomach, brings on dyspepsia, liver CON-
plant and other diseases. Animals finish
their meals and thsa drink. Humans often
eat by mouthf25 1xsshing the same down

is great mistake to drink strong mineral

1t gives temporary relief but increases the
flow of the gastric juices and the stomach
becomes more acid.

Wedream not of the imminent perils through
which we are passing
In the morning we reach Durango, and
committee of gentlemen boarded the train
and rendered the hospitality and freedom of
the city during our stay. After breakfast
the party took their places for n short run up
the Rio de Las Animas Perdidas-River Of
Lost Souls-to Las Animas gorge, which was
the last in our list of wonders, and which we
had been told was the grandest in the pano-
rama of scenic glory.
For twelve or fifteen miles north of Du-
range the railroad runs along the beautiful
valley of the Ammas, following closely the
sinuosity of the stream, which, though called
the River of Lost Souls, Is at this point one
of the most lovely snow born rivulets In all
the ranges of the Rockies.
On both sides of the stream there are fer
tile fields, well kept gardens and thrifty
homes The mountain wall on the north side
of the valley is built Of brilliant red, soft
sandstone, piled strata on strata to a perpen-
dicular height of 1900 or 5000 feet. "The
road climbs and clings TO the rising cliffs,
and presently the earth and stately pines
have receded, and the train rolls along
mere granite shelf in midair. Above the
the vertical wall rises thousand feet; below,
hundreds of feet of precipitOus depth and a
fathomless river. The canyon here is "A mere

Breckenridge, over 10000 feet above tho
sea level, in Summit county, proved
most interesting point. Specimens
of free gold, in value as high as
$500, found in the mines near the city, were
examined, as may well he imagined, with
good deal of interest by the visiting editors.

birds and animals, most excellently mounted
and filling the rooms of large, well built,
hewed log house, was the great point of in
tercst There were birds from the little
songsters to the Rocky Mountain quail and
great black eagle; animals, from the prairie
dogs to the Rocky Mountain goats, antlered
elks and mighty bsons and huge grizzlies.
IN this city of the mountains with a popu--
lation of 951 inhabitants, two papers are pub
lished, and one, The Journal both daily and
weekly A visit to the office Of The Daily
85uihaI, and q eotYersation " III the gentle
manly editor and publisher, Col. j. c.
Fincher, who has passed his Goth year at
least revealed the rather interesting fact
that the paper and office are run by himself
and his two daughters, editing the paper,
doing the typesetting, proof reading, press
work and job printing.
A short way beyond Breckenridge, we
crossed the mountain stream and spring
from which rises the mighty Arkansas river.
A view, too, was had of the Mount of the
Holy Gross, named from that symbol of
mans redemption placed on the mountains
side above the clouds, in fissures, riven by
the hand of the Great Builder, formed of
pure white snow, like that of Lebanon.
At dark We reached Leadville, from which
point the Colorado Midland railroad will
eventually extend to Ogden, Utah. 1t is the
first broad gauge to pierce tho businesses of
the Rocky mountains, and at the Hagerman
tunnel, where it crosses tho Continental
divide, reaches an altitude of $50 feet. 1t
was opened for business between LeRdville
and the east in September last hut its posi-
tion will make it, when completed, part of
a great continental trunk line, and thus give
it national Importance. Its track is rock

lies over Ute pass, along the base of Pixies
peak, through Eleven Mile canyon, across
South park, and up the magnificent Grand
Valley of tho Arkansas, it is needless to say
that the scenery presented to its passengers is
varied and grand beyond the power of pen
to describe. If the traveller could make no
other tour of Colorado than this trip over the
Midland railway from Colorado Springs 20
Leadville, he would feel richly repaid for a
long journey from the east.
We iourneyed down this road on Sunday,

Where Is Heaven?

The question, "Where is heaven?" was
put to Sam Jones by one Of his wealthy
church members in Georgia, whose cotton
crop yielded him some $40, 900 tho last year.
"Where is heavsn?" said the rich planter.
.I'll tell where heaven is" said Mr.. Jones,
"If you will go down to the village and buy
fifty dollars worth. Of Groceries, put them
in wagon, aud take them to that poor wi
dow on the hillside, who has three Of her
children sick. She is poor and needs help.
Take with nurse, and some one to cook
their meals. When you get there read the
twehty-third psalm and kneel by her side
and pray. Then you will find out where
heaven is." Next day as the evangelist was
walking through the village he met this
same wealthy planter, his face bsaming with
joy. He spoke after this manner: "Mr.
Jones, I've found out where heaven is.
went as yon directed me. We took up the
wagon load of groceries, and the poor widow
was completely overcome with joy. She
could not express her thankfulness. As
read to her the twenty-third psalm, my
heart was filled with thankfullness to God;
and, when 1 prayed, the angels came, and
thought 1 was nearer to heaven than ever
had been in my life left the nurse and
cock in her humble dwelling, and promised
her she should never suffer so long ss
could help her."

Surgery in the Hospital.

One of our doctors writes to me: while
writing about experimental surgery in the
hospitals you might have added that cases
Of death under the knife in these clinics are
not at all uncommon, and that they never
get into print There is not hospital in
this city that would allow newspaper to
send reporter to attend the operations in
its precincts for month aud give him free
access to all the particulars of them. With
in that time there would certainly be cases
to record which it would not be pleasant for
the hospital to have recorded. The secrets
of our hospitals are harder to get at than
those of Blackwell's Island. Some day
some newspaper will coin genuine sensa.
ton by revealing them"
